why in hell don't you fucktards simply boycott now as we've certainly gotten tired of the god damn "boycot beta" beefs. Everyone of them has jacked threads making it impossible to hold a god damn discussion. Maybe I need a god damn shot gun in the crowded room for all you "Fuck Beta" bitches. Better yet, beam you out into vacumn and see how long it takes you to expire.

At least you realize it. Maybe now you can do something about it.

Old Proverb "Wise Man keeps mouth closed instead of opening it and proving they're an idiot".

In my case, the only excersise I get now if from "flying off the handle, then jumping to conclusions, followed by butting in" so I wonder why everyone dislikes me?

Most ARM fans keep repeating the same fucking mantra - It uses less power then x86. Bullshit. It's not just the CPU that results in power demand for mobile systems (Tablets, phones and what not) it's the GPU, Screen, disk and all the other parts that go into the thing and Intel has finally paid enough attention to overall power budget that they're actually beating most of the ARM based SoC's out there in both power savings and performance.

Look at the power demand of the Nvidia Tegra SoC's. Tegra3 was decent but limited GPU performance. Tegra 4 though blows through a batter like Richard Pryor did with hookers and Coke.

Even Qualcomm's Snapdragon SoC doesn't do any better as the GPU blows the power budget. Intel's Atom CPU's are competitive with ARM in performance and power budget. What screwed them was the fucking north bridge and GPU. That actually used more power then the CPU did yet they've fixed that with the latest Atom's due to a new SoC design focused on Power savings and yes I've used an early Atom Netbook - painful even with XP on it. The new ones are pretty decent now.

yet, any god damn thread that hogs a CPU still locks the entire god damn UI of Firefox because it's not multi-thread capable. Fix the fucking UI and other bugs that sill haven't been fixed insted of trying to keep up with Googles insane numbering.

I agree with that as I'm not a Christian but a Viking - Follower of Loki. I'm a neutral/chaotic though as it's far more fun driving everyone nucking futs.

they don't have enough fiber in Kansas. Too few fruits for that due to tornados

Actually under the new laws, you do have the Right to your FICO score.

considering that Medicare/Social Security is paid for by anyone working in the United States (called FICA - Federal Insurance Contribution Act), I have no issue with the government collecting information in regards to that. Unemployment is partly paid for by everyone who works in the United States (2% tax rate called FUTA - Federal Unemployment Tax Act). As to stuff like the FDIC, it's not me that pays for that nor does my financial institution have to carry it (they're not a bank but a credit union). As to things like tax credits, energy conservation efforts, law enforcement and such are paid for by property taxes. Road and Transportation taxes are a combination of tax on Fuel and commercial vehicles along with Vehicle Registration Fees, that do not impact me on a regular basis as I don't buy fuel nor do I own a vehicle that requires a license plate.

So there's how your straw man argument is full of shit. Please remove your "Primary Sensory Organs from your Solid Waste Disposal Chute" as I can't hear you over the rest of the crickets.

until those unused cards bite you in the ass because someone in bolivia created a card with a matching number.

In my case, I've got a note in my credit file - It's against my religion to pay for credit - issue at your own risk as I will not pay.

I no longer even get those pesky Pre-Approved offers since they ended up with 100k in debt that will never be paid (that's been in my report since I was 18 as it is true).

Even MS Office can not guarantee 100% compatibility with other versions of MS Office Documents. This is especially important to know if you are more then 2 generations behind (Office 2010) is the break point. I've had issues with docs from Office 2003 being screwed up by 2010 and those are local to my system. So if I have problems with formats from 2 generations before (office 2007 doesn't give me problems) then how in hell can you ensure that your latest Office 365 hasn't been updated to actually corrupt anything other then the latest version of Office-xxxx? This is how MS locks you into using the fucking products.

how about the fact that running Win7-64, my HP is as close to silent as I've heard yet with 8/8.1 the god damn CPU fan kept cycling between 15 - 50 percent speed. What in hell is 8 doing that's hitting the fucking CPU that hard that 7 doesn't do as it certainly doesn't give me hope for decent battery life on a fucking tablet.

if you think that, then you really need to check out http://www.silentpcreview.com/ and see where you're wrong.

Well at least some one else got 2+2=4 out of this and in this case, Google is getting the better deal due to the cross licensing of the patents. The big question I have, is how many of the patents does Lenevo get with Google having the right to use them?

We have a winner!!!

Hashes are useless for source code as they don't tell you if the code is virgin or not. The only secure method is to use GPG signatures on the source code (apt-get/rpm/emerge) can all check them if configured. In the FLOSS world, you also have distro repositories that are generally trusted as they're controlled by the distro itself and packages are signed with the distro key. Much better then a binary hash.

ICTFY - the client connects to an FTP server either on the standard port (21) or a specified port to initiate the connection. The Standard data connection to any FTP server is (23) that's used to communicate with the server in either mode (passive/active)

An error is the ports about 32768 as it's anything abover 1024 that's fair game with the ephemral ports being above 49151- the registered ports
  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/L...

Basically, anything above 1024 is classified as the High Range as they're available to a User and not restricted to Administrator/Root privlaged software and I've seen my client (Filezilla no less) use any range of ports above 1024 depending on the server config. Most that allow public/anonomous connections restrict those connections to 32768 and higher for logging purposes. Anyone attempting to connect to a low level port is blocked and logged (FTP.Microsoft.COM) is a good example. Lots of stuff to download there if you need windows patches and such for older versions along with other goodies.
